Looks awesome, not so fake like this CGI only crap - Jurassic World.

Another on my list

Reviews are off the charts good so far. The word "masterpiece" is getting thrown around.

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) - Rotten Tomatoes

174 reviews and there's two trolls keeping from 100%. Almost unheard of rating. What's the chances that those two critics are assholes?

That movie sucked. I could put up with about 45 minutes before I turned it off. Waste of time. Not even the cheesy action is done right. Kinda childish in a way; an action movie for kids.

What's the chances your taste in movies are complete crap? Since you like just about every new shit movie that comes out, I would say high.

Oh, btw. no offense.

I respectfully disagree. I thought it was a great film and a very successful reboot. I'm looking forward to the sequels. :thumbsup

I'm too lazy so I'm gonna copy and paste from IMDB how I felt about this movie:

Please do tell me what was so great about it?

When did this become a bad thing?

timely bump, was just pondering snagging the blue ray but was wondering if it's okay enough on a tele after watching this in imax 3d Ex

Probably when I turned 16.

Seriously, though, you guys are the reason Hollywood makes one decent movie every 5 years and went completely downhill after the 90s.

Also, you left out the rest of my quote, the most important part.

I suggest you round up the rest of you that like boring movies and have them start going to the boring movies more often so that they start making money and then Hollywood can make more of your boring movies. The rest of us that like watching things blow up seem to be driving their economy.

Darn.

The obvious problem is you think things have to blow up every 5 minutes otherwise it's a "boring" movie. For me, too much action is boring. That's the interesting thing about action in stories, if you use it sparingly and at the precise moments, its effects are much, much more powerful.

So far this movie year has been awful, but something tells me it will end the year with a bang! :thumbsup

I watched it last night. I thought it was good. I didn't think it was as good as all the hype made it out to be, but I enjoyed it, thought it was visually very interesting and I am glad I saw it.

Worst movie ever made, so bad, it was horrendously bad.

That's why I'm hesitant to get the bluray, the film was quite the spectacle on imax but ....

It was plain stupid ...

You still trolling this thread you miserable, joyless prick?

The consensus is that this movie is good. That's already been determined by people who actually like, and pay to go see movies. Not download it and "turn it off" after 45 minutes.

I hope you find some way to find enjoyment in your life. Actually, I don't.

And trust me...I watch and enjoy far more "slow" movies that you do.

sorry, the movie was garbage....I hate Mel Gibson but this was a joke

getting a re-release in imax 3d again next weekend. Going to check that out before a BLU Ray rewatch.

You have to take J. Falcon with a grain of salt. Remember, this is the guy who not too long ago made a post declaring that Scorsese, Tarantino, Spielberg, Christopher Nolan and P.T. Anderson are the five more overrated directors of all time.

Most things in life, including, movies, TV, music, food, clothes etc are all subjective. To me J.Falcon comes off like one of those guys who likes a band until they get popular then hates them because they sold out and needs to tell everyone how he liked them first.

Oh I see. So he's one of those critics, except he hates everything that's good.

Thanks for the heads up, I'm thinking of going back to check it out. My last foray to the theater was terminator genisys.

Sounds like a plan... Its worth watching.

Sorry, you must be too stupid to understand. Let me make it clearer:

Slow doesn't mean good. Fast doesn't mean bad. Movies are good because they actually make you think about something, doesn't matter what that is, if it's deep or superficial, relevant to your own experience or not. Mindless entertainment is why Hollywood makes the crap they make, so keep eating it up.

The consensus means shit, pretty sure anyone can agree.

You have me all wrong. I'm not like that at all. I just can't for the life of me believe what is considered a "great" movie these days. And for this garbage to be mentioned as a masterpiece is just mind boggling. We live in the fast food era of entertainment: we want things fast, cheap and tasty.

So a piece of art like Fury Road (made by one of the greatest living filmmakers) isn't really about anything....because you don't have the ability to look beyond the action. But what am I talking about? You didn't even watch it because you're too cool.

It's a movie that told it's story through action, not dialogue -- exactly the way movies did before they had the luxury of sound. So it's more pure cinema than you give it credit for. Characters yapping for two hours don't make a good movie.

The problem is, this movie was terrible, no way anyone could think it is a masterpiece. That is unless of course a masterpiece is a steaming pile of shit.

I will agree that I don't understand why people are calling it a masterpiece. I enjoyed and I think the word that might describe it best is cool, but to me it isn't a masterpiece.

That's just it though, I don't think the effectively told a good story through action. Given that I've seen the originals, it should have been easy for me to follow along, but I was left with too many unanswered questions with the back story. For me it felt like 2 hours of the continuation of the train scene from Thunder Dome. It never really felt like a reboot. The actors all did a fine job though.

I guess it's a piece of art in the sense that all movies are art (in some way) but other than that, you calling this movie art is laughable. Your next problem is calling George Miller one of the greatest living filmmakers. Seriously?

I don't think it's not about anything. Of course it's about something. But the story is of little importance; what's important is the eye-candy: explosions, car chases, bizarre costumes, hot girls, futuristic weapons, and basically all the over-the-top bullshit. So if it's about anything, it's about holding the attention of someone who thinks watching 2 hours of that is entertaining.

Silent films didn't tell their stories through hyped up, mindless action. So I'm not sure what you're getting at here. But I'll take a silent flick over this garbage any day.

And about your last comment, it seems like you STILL don't understand what I'm saying. Characters don't have to talk throughout the whole movie for it to good. I love action in a movie, but like I said before: "That's the interesting thing about action in stories, if you use it sparingly and at the precise moments, its effects are much, much more powerful. "

:2 cents:

we rewatched interstellar last nite. talk about a slow-burn mind fuck. i got caught sighing and rolling my eyes several times over the plot/message. even though, it's still an entertaining flick.

I hated that piece of shit too.

That was my favorite movie of last year easily.

Why don't you give us some hints on what's a good movie? What did you like recently, oh Great Omnipotent Arbiter of Taste? I'm sure that whatever you list will make everything clear to us why you have such refined cinematic tastes.

Another masterpiece, was it?

i hear ya. i'm not saying it's a bad movie at all, i didn't walk out on it at the theater nor felt like walking away from it last night. it is a cool movie. but i do think the morality play in it was contrived. as well as the conclusion- love solves equations. and i had forgotten mat damon comes out of nowhere! :helpme

again, not a bad movie and entertaining enough to keep my attention for what, 2.5 hours? long movie. i just didn't agree with the forced morality message and the plot points required to set that up. murphy for instance, just not a welldone character development for her. her love for her dad was so strong she rejected him at the most crucial point in both their lives and continued that rejection for decades ultimately turning that into a belief her dad abandoned her? simply to setup the conclusion that love solves everything. then to have her on her death bed basically reject her dad when he shows up? that's weird.

also, i brought it up in this thread because i think it's a good counter to fury road.
